Scope and Content Photographic copy of watercolour showing Drum Castle, Aberdeenshire, from north-west The watercolour shows the castle after Bryce's additions, with a grand arched entrance created by extending the 16th-century brewhouse. Behind the entrance, there is also an addition running along the rear of the Jacobean mansion. The terrace to the right of the castle was also designed by Bryce, but never built. Drum Castle was first built as a tower in the late 13th or early 14th century. In 1619, a Jacobean mansion was constructed alongside the tower. The castle was in the possession of the Irvine family for over 650 years, between 1323 and 1976. It is now in the care of The National Trust for Scotland, and is open to the public. This painting of Drum Castle was the work of David Bryce (1803-76), an Edinburgh-based architect who designed additions to the castle. After David Bryce's death, some subsequent work was carried out by his nephew, John Bryce. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
